JRP 013 Post Partum Depression? Reach to us, you are not alone

Today Stefanie Antunes, Doula educator shared her knowledge about Post Partum depression and her experience with this mood disorder as she called it " Perinatal Depression", It can actually affect more than 15% of mothers.

As a Doula, Personal Trainer and health Advocate I am here to support my friends, my family and everyone around me. I love to share solutions to help to diminish the depression and avoid prescription antidepressants.

Natural ways to heal depression are:

Exercise lightly at home with an instructional video or with a personal trainer
Eat a well-balanced food low in processed sugars
EPA/DHA supplementation + Vitamin D
Food that promotes serotonin like raspberries
Dance with your favourite music 2x a day for 2 songs
Take a 10 mins walk under the sun.
Breath with closed eyes for 10 mins.
Delegate activities with your partner or family member.
Get one night a week to relax and do something that makes feel " you"
Wear a sexy dress that makes you feel confident and sexy again.
